HARRIS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
COURT PUTS ASTRODOME PLAN ON
NOVEMBER BALLOT

If approved by voters in November, the repurposing of the Astrodome
would take approximately 30 months, allowing it to play a key role in the
hosting of Super Bowl LI in February 2017.

Court Votes Unanimously to Allow Voters Opportunity
To Decide on Future of the “Eighth Wonder of the World”
Harris County Commissioners Court voted unanimously this morning to
give Harris County voters the opportunity to decide the fate of the Harris
County Domed Stadium, the world-famous Astrodome, owned by county
taxpayers.
The court’s decision means voters will decide on November 5th whether
to allow the county to issue up to $217 million in bonds to finance the
redesign and redevelopment of the former stadium, which has remained
empty and largely unused since 2009. The exact amount of bonds to be
issued and the amount of the required property tax increase to pay off
those bonds has not yet been determined, but would be part of the ballot
language presented to voters.
“One of the most frequent questions I have heard in my six and a half years
as county judge has been ‘What are we going to do with the Astrodome’,”
Emmett said. “Now the voters will finally get to decide.”
After a lengthy multi-year process in which the county unsuccessfully
sought private proposals with funding for the Astrodome, the Harris County
Sports and Convention Corporation unveiled a proposal in June called
“The New Dome Experience.” The plan calls for converting the Astrodome
to a modern multipurpose venue with open space that could play host to a
multitude of sports, exhibitions and community events, including activities
of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

NEIGHBORLY REMINDER

This is a beautiful community. In helping to keep it that way, it would be great
to remind people that they should clean up after their pets.
It is great for people to have pets and love their pets, but being a good
neighbor is also important. We can’t tell you how bad it feels to put work and
money into your yard so that you and your family can enjoy it and play in it...
but then you find that other people have left disgusting feces on your yard for you to find and clean up! It is simply not fair.
Please be courteous and clean up after your pets!

GARDEN TIPS FOR SEPTEMBER

Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects.
• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead wood. Light
green leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron cheleates.
• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around the roots.
• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth. Follow up with a
dose of fertilizer the first week of September.
• Plants come out of summer rest and go crazy. Insect populations explode
as we get into cooler temperatures. Diseases that have been dormant wake
up.
- Citrus, croton, avocado and mango are susceptible to spider mites and
thrips. Discourage them with a strong jet of water from a hose directed to the
undersides of the leaves.
- Hibiscus, citrus, palms, gardenia and ixora are susceptible to scale and
mealybug.
• Winter vegetable gardens and perennials get planted.
• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies.

Villages of Cypress Lakes

• Fire ants baits should be put out in September-October to lessen the
number of eggs that make it to Spring.
• St. Augustine grass gets its fall fertilizer during September. Continue to
mow at maximum height. You want to leave a lot of leaf surface to produce
carbohydrate reserves for the winter.
• Keep an eye out for sod webworms. First sign of them is grass that appears
to stop growing. You need to get them early for biological controls to work.
When the caterpillars are only 1/4 inch, Bacillus thuringiensis applications
can slow them. Bt is a bacteria that works on the caterpillars’ digestive
systems and makes them stop feeding. Do the application late in the day.
The larvae feed at night and you want them to get nice fresh Bt.
• When the heat and drought end, the weather could bring brown patch
disease in the St. Augustine grass. Watch for yellowish spots if the nights
drop into the 60’s and days stay in the 80’s.
• Get any pruning of hedges and such done now. You want the flush of new
growth to be hardened-off before the end of October. Tree pruning should be
put off until winter, when the trees are dormant.
• Pre-emerge herbicide applications targeting annual bluegrass and the
earlier-germinating winter broadleaf weeds needed to be put out starting in
mid-August.

The Cy-Fair Educational Foundation announced that it has been honored
with a prestigious 2013 Top-Rated Award by GreatNonprofits, the leading

Holmes, Executive Director, Cy-Fair Educational Foundation. We are proud
of our accomplishments, we have awarded over 5 million dollars in student
scholarships since inception.

reviews that the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation received - reviews written
by volunteers, donors, trustees and scholarship recipients. People posted
their personal experience with the nonprofit. For example, one person wrote,
“This foundation has given me a chance to fulfill my dreams of going to
college.”
While the Top-Rated Awards run through the end of October, the Cy-Fair
Educational Foundation was part of the inaugural group to qualify for the year.
“Savvy donors want to see the impact of their donations more than ever,”
said Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits, “People with direct experience with
the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation have voted that the organization is
making a real difference.”

impaired for life, with progression of disability the absolute outcome.
Murray Williams, William “Billy” Noack and Ted Noack, Jr. are 3 local men
diagnosed with KD. Since KD is a genetic disorder, we are racing against the
clock to find a cure before it affects their children and grandchildren. There

CARNIVAL ROUND THE CENTRAL FIGURE by Diana Amsterdam.
Regional Premier - November 7-23, 2013.
A wild ride through theatrical terrain that sears the senses and impacts the
audience at a visceral place, which also manages to be hilariously funny and
heartbreakingly real in the five core scenes of a young woman’s visit to the
death bed of her friend. Her moment of acknowledgment and comfort comes
hard in the face of denial, moralizing, insane positive thinking, desperate
chit chat and the existential fears we all harbor about the end moments of
life - the great mystery.
MUSEUM OF DYSFUNCTION IV - December 6-14, 2013.
Short plays from 200 writers who submitted from all over the US and were
chosen by a panel. Co-produced by Wordsmyth Theatre.
ROME by John Harvey - World Premier - March 6-22, 2014. This original
script is being written by local playwright, John Harvey, workshopped
by designers, musicians and actors, video documented over a year and
presented as a collaborative effort as our final play in the season.
Located at Studio 101 at Spring Street Studios, 1824 Spring Street,
Houston, TX 77007. All performances begin at 8 PM. Price - $18 regular/
$10 students and seniors. Pay as you can on Mondays and $25 for opening

‘BEGINNING WITH BEETHOVEN’
TAKES HOLD OF HOUSTON

‘Beginning with Beethoven,’ the premier of the Transformation Trilogy
concert series produced by local arts ensemble the Houston New Arts
Movement (HNAM), stunned a packed house as it came to life on the stage
at Dowling Music. Some of Ludwig van Beethoven’s most ambitious works

were resurrected including the incomparable “Ghost Trio,” performed by
HNAM members Adam Vincent Clay, Cony Ruiz Tamez and Laura Cividino.
“Throughout his compositions, Ludwig van Beethoven took the form that
predated him and transformed it,” said HNAM founder and pianist Adam
Vincent Clay. “He composed with more personal and emotional intensity in
his music, the beginning of a major transformation of the history of music
composition. With these concerts, we are taking the audience on a journey
through a range of emotions. Beethoven’s musical style changed much as
he did, moving through the structures of the classical and romantic era and
ultimately the heavy dissonance of his later works, even foreshadowing the
compositional language of the twentieth century.”
‘The Transformation Trilogy’ continues with an additional ‘Beginning with
Beethoven’ performance sponsored by and held at St. Cyril of Alexandria
Church (10503 Westheimer Rd. Houston, TX 77042), at 7 PM. Each of
the upcoming concerts showcases the music of another transformative
composer. The next in the series will reveal the powerful works of Dmitri
Shostakovich (1906 - 1975) in November followed by the cutting and
suspenseful compositions of Alfred Schnittke finishing the trilogy in February.
